Amazing food. The Cochinito Cubano is made with the hopes and dreams of little kids. Also, ask for Maduros!
Arnoldo JimenezOctober 3, 2010I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed the food and more importantly the service. I know they have only been open two days, but hopefully the dedicated customer service will not lessen as time goes on
Tammy GordonOctober 22, 2010Standouts: pork belly, ablondigas (meatballs), crab Ceviche, mojitos, rice pudding or flan
Jorge BApril 27, 2011Try the Mango and Ginger Martini along with the Miami Frita or Chicharrones de la Pollo.
Mojitos are fantastic. Empanadas are amazing and the arroz con pollo is tremendous.
Seth RosenblattFebruary 3, 2013Brunch was okay. Not wowed. Nice atmosphere. I don't really understand small plates for brunch. The atmosphere was fun.
DawnJanuary 31, 2016Lackluster food and even worse service. Passion fruit mojito was good. Only thing worth coming here for.
Chet ManciniNovember 26, 2014Trying a bit too hard with the whole Havana thing.. Food is decent though.
Be sure to stop by for 25% off on all food until October 11th ! Oh! And a fabulous Pyrat XO Mojito!
Carolyn P.October 16, 2011Choose unlimited piqueos (tapas) $25 for brunch-add unlimited drinks for extra $10
- This not the correct address, The correct address for Cuba Libre Restaurant and Rum Bar is 801-A. 9th Street NW, Washington, DC!!
Stephanie PhillippyApril 6, 2011Cute inside, reminds me of south florida food was average. Loved the tres leches dessert. Service was medium.
Kelly DelmareNovember 8, 2010Mojitos are great! Atmosphere is lively. Food price/quality ratio is not on par.
Brian NixonNovember 22, 2010Pork belly app really tasty. Grilled baby octopus a little too chewy for my tastes
Ben SackOctober 14, 2010Great mixed drinks, great food, friendly service, just dodge the tostones...
